In my opinion Omar is a great rep, though hypothetically I think it would be fair to question her chances of winning statewide. But that's a moot point because Omar has already announced she's not running for Senate.

MN already has a very solid candidate in Peggy Flanagan, who has actually won statewide! Lopez Franzen would be much preferable to Craig as well.

I don't believe Lieutenant Governor in Minnesota is a standalone office so I wouldn't count that as winning statewide. People weren't really voting for her they were voting for Tim Walz.

Yeah. She just got picked bc then Walz could win over more progressive Dems. It worked fantastically.

Wait, my comment may seem flippant. Complete opposite. We love Flanagan. I was ready to vote for Walz and him picking her made it a no brainer for me back in 2018. And, their primary opponents for Gov/Lt Gov were the first candidate I ever volunteered for and a friend from college. ShouldтАЩve been a tough choice but it wasnтАЩt. 2016 was scary af and I wanted Tim Walz as my candidate for Gov. Dude is a safety blanket.
